Rev. Gerald Dillenbeck Poet Lyric

Love's Last Litany

I have never known alone
as when I lie next to you.

I have never felt orphaned,
unknown,
alien,
as when cramped within our zoo.

I have only become this dark
when missing not missing you.

I am breathing in
hoping to exhale, all through.


I don't want to want to hear you
when I look past your sad dark eyes.

I can't bear to sing this song
slow dancing echoed sighs.

I don't want to be this anymore
becoming drawn to close my door.

If you can love me as I am
please help me find breath's floor.

I don't want to play house anymore,
my soul wilts in air this poor.

I don't want to want to breathe us anymore.
I can't want to breathe this evermore.
